Status: offline 		Is there some document to follow along with while playing the tutorial? Nothing seems to be "tutoring" me here. :)

Also I have blue lines all over my map and I'm not sure why or how to get rid of them. Anyone know?

If you want to handle everything yourself and don't use PO Assist (which I don't but happy its available for really large scenarios) you can go to the menu bar and select "Play/Player Options" and turn off "Show PO Assist buttons".

EDIT:
OOPS, just tested this and found that option does nothing with the new UI PO Assist buttons, just the old version option. Hmmm... Well, normally those track buttons are not selected and you should make sure they are dimmed out on the "Report" UI panel.

Do you have Word? If not, there are Word readers available on line.

Some scenarios use Word format, others PDF. This depends on what the original scenario designer selected, unfortunately.
